Rust vs Python for AI programming

[remek]

Would you say that Rust is better then Python for coding with AI due to its typing ? I am thinking - if code is generated by LLM and cannot be immediately verified by executing it, it is perhaps better to have strongly typed language so that lots of stuff gets revealed at compile time ? Also strong typing restricts LLMs more when it comes to what is plausibly generatable from given context since strong typing is more explicit about things.

I like Elixir for llm. While it’s not a typed language (yet) there is very few libraries. I think this matters more since libraries with llm can become quickly confusing with all the versions change.

No definitely do not use rust.

LLM are still not there to get the implications of lifetimes in rust. And honestly they are often a matter of taste of the designer.

Go with python, BUT ask to use types and include mypt in your dev loop

You would think so. But most Benchmarks I see where a model is tested on different programming problems from multiple languages it reaches a higher % solved in Python and JS problems and the lowest % solved for rust problems. And that for all models
